Real-Time Big Data

Couchbase Server is a high-performance NoSQL distributed database with a flexible data model. It scales on commodity hardware to support large data sets with a high number of concurrent reads and writes while maintaining low latency and strong consistency.

Couchbase Server is engineered with a unique, memory-centric architecture for increased scalability and performance.

While the data is written to an in-memory cache for low latency read/write access, it’s persisted and replicated for durability and availability. A memory-centric architecture enables Couchbase Server to remove unnecessary disk IO from read and write paths. For example, updating the index in-memory based on writes to the cache when it’s queried.

Providing a Better User Experience on eBay

eBay selected Couchbase Server to improve the user experience across multiple channels, including web and mobile, with the goal of supporting over 2 billion reads per day.

Couchbase Server provides low-latency read access to item, buyer, and seller data via two clusters deployed in two data centers. Low-latency reads and writes of authentication tokens are also enabled, with clusters in three data centers. Read the success story.

The site reliability engineering team loads 16 million entries into a 4-node cluster every five minutes to power their in-house monitoring user interface, InGraphs. This cluster sustains 400K operations per second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Read the success story.

Accessing and Analyzing Cookie Data in Real-Time

PayPal deployed Couchbase Server in order to migrate billions of client-side cookies to a server-side database. To maintain 99.99% availability with three data centers, there are two active, bidirectional clusters and a passive, unidirectional cluster.

To analyze the cookie data, PayPal created a publisher using the TAP protocol to stream cookies written to Couchbase Server to Kafka as messages. The cookie data is written to Hadoop with LinkedIn’s Camus. Watch PayPal present at Couchbase Connect.

Powering Facebook’s Game of the Year, Cookie Jam

SGN powers all of their mobile games from Panda Pop to The Book of Life: Sugar Smash to Cookie Jam with Couchbase Server. It provides read and write access to all player and game data from game progress to purchases like “power ups”.

In addition, success mobile games require an elastic infrastructure. There were 1.2 million Cookie Jam installs within a month, 35 million with 10 months. SGN added a new node every two months to support this exponential growth. Read the blog.
